Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry allows the three-dimensional reconstruction of objects and environments thanks to moving cameras operated by divers or robotic vehicles. It is used to monitor deep environments, but also habitat species, such as oceanic posidonia meadows, and is also suitable for monitoring archaeological sites and mapping wrecks. The photogrammetric acquisition of wrecks requires several hours of diving activity, especially if conducted by divers.
